Students can choose to minor in one of over 100 different areas while in the BSN program. Although students are encouraged to pursue a minor if it fits with their academic goals, no Nursing course or clinical may be moved because of a conflict with a minor course. A minor is not required for graduation. Minor registration forms and information on individual minor programs may be obtained online at https://artsandsciences.osu.edu/academics/programs/minors.
The following are the policy guidelines for minor areas of study:
- Minor course hours are counted as elective hours toward graduation.
- Some minors require individual approval by a departmental faculty member; others do not. Sheets describing the individual minor program carry this information. Minor program information can be found at https://artsandsciences.osu.edu/academics/programs/minors.
- Students must file a minor form with the College of Nursing Office of Student Affairs and Success. Forms must be submitted at least one semester prior to graduation.
- Once a minor program is on file in the college office, any changes must be discussed with an academic advisor in the College of Nursing.
- No grade below a “C-” will be permitted in courses comprising the minor; the minimum overall CPHR of the minor shall be a 2.00.
- Minor courses may not be taken pass/non-pass.
